Cowl continued:

The photos in this post show the cowl with the engine installed. I made sure there was lots of room around the engine for cooling. Note that the engine is 1.25" forward of where it would have been with the stand-offs alone. Hopefully this will enable the plane to balance without any ballast. I'll have to cover the plane and install the servos, etc. before trying to balance. I can move the Smart-Fly power controller and batteries around if necessary.

There will probably be a bit of a break before the next post. I have to clean the workshop in preparation for covering. Wings will be first, followed by the fuselage and tail. Lots of work!
